      Riala laughs* Not bad, fox! (n/t) (24-Dec-98 11:45:53)
           Silverleaf: Riala, I have that problem too, at times. You might try to fix it by pressing Refresh or
           Reload. Usually works for me. I think it has something to do with CACHE (if you want to know
           more about CACHE, e-mail me) (n/t) (24-Dec-98 14:05:26)

                Silverleaf: Of course you don't! Nothing that happens on a message board actually takes
                plac ein the clue unless you WANT it to=) And you don't HAVE to die! Kaylen, earlier,
                got hit by a dagger in her chest, but still survived...she just needed a lot of medical
                attention. (n/t) (25-Dec-98 11:11:38)

      Silverleaf: OOC: *shrugs* I just can't get on the Net quite as often as I would like in order to defend and
      attack as much as I like. I tmay seem like I get on frequently enough, but tomorrow I'll be leaving to visit
      my nieces and nephews and won't be able to help at all. They do seem like a lot of fun, though, and I
      hope to participate a little more when i get back. (n/t) (25-Dec-98 13:03:52)

      A Wandering Warrior: *looks mildly startled* Hey, Kaylen, I think they're dead now. I certainly don't
      see any more vermin showin' their miserable 'ides around 'ere. Per'aps we ought to worry about that other
      horde now, 'fore they catch us by surprise. *looks around worriedly for sign of the other horde* (n/t)
      (25-Dec-98 22:52:20)
           Shadow de Vulpes: It's over.... the last few have ran away* Tears go unbidden to her eyes. she

      (26-Dec-98 14:57:30)
      Riala Goldentail: *looks around* There's not many of us who aren't wounded. Maybe we'd all better get
      to Redwall. That would be safe enough for us to get healed, get reinforcements, and drive Nightdeath out
      of Mossflower after all that is done. I hope there are still enough unwounded creatures to keep the
      Longclaws at bay until everybeast is healed and we get reinforcements. *winces as she walks forward*
      And lets not waste any time about it- I don't think we could fight off another horde! (n/t) (26-Dec-98

      Kaylen: *** Eyes still blood red *** No! I will not go to Redwall! Not while that lot is still about! ***

      Riala Goldentail: *steps toward where Kaylen had gone* Kaylen... *sighs, turns toward others* Any of
      you who aren't wounded, come with me and Kaylen, but one or two take the wounded to get healed and
      to gather reinforcements *quickly binds own wounds with strips from tunic* I'm following the
      Longclaws! *climbs a tree and catches up with Kaylen* Kaylen, they strongly outnumber us. I'd
      recommend stealth rather than open combat. That's the only way we'd stand a chance! *turns toward the
      direction of Nightdeath* But remember, the wolverine is mine! *looks back to Kaylen* Do you have any
      ideas on how to defeat them? (n/t) (26-Dec-98 18:53:31)
      Keaner and 28 fighting hares of the Long Patrol: HEy there! You aren't going bally ell anywhere
      without me! Bigfoot and Sandfur will take care of the wounded and the rest of you hares come along!

      Kaylen: *** sniffs the ground and gives an excited yip, eyes still filled with battle light *** They haven't
      gone far! I'd say they're about 55 meters ahead! Alright, I'll charge in and distract them, you pick a few off
      and run! I'll be fine, a warning: do not try to stop me, I am filled with bloodwrath and if you try I may
      unknowingly attack or kill you! Stay out of my way. (n/t) (28-Dec-98 12:48:31)
      Keaner: *grabs an ear with his paw and looks thoughtful* Umm, no offsense marm, but shouldn't we not
      alert them to our presense? If we do hit and run attacks, they bally won't know how many there are of us,
      correct? I'd hate to have get our dear Lightheart to hold ya back marm, but I think it best ot fight with
      cool heads, am I right Riala? *walks casually in front of Kaylen with a paw on his sword* (n/t) (28-Dec-98

           my abdomin (n/t) (29-Dec-98 09:07:23)
      Kaylen: Alright then. I'll challenge one of their captains to keep 'em occupide. Dern it, somebeast has to
      serve as a distraction! They aren't daft bucko! If this Longclaws is as crafty as Riala says then it'll only
      take him the work of a moment to figure out our positions and where we're headed if'n we do only snipe
      attacks! And we haven't all season! They're dangerously close to Redwall mate! (n/t) (30-Dec-98 01:04:56)
      Riala Goldentail: *mutters* why can't I be the distraction? *sighs* I know, I know. Nightdeath knows
      who I am and he won't let his captain fight me. He'd want to fight me himself, then he'd pull the same trick
      he did on my father. If I started to get the better of him he'd have an archer shoot me in the back! *face
      clouds* Be careful, Kaylen. Watch your back when you fight. Vermin don't play by the rules. (n/t)

      who's gonna be the distraction, Riala mate, you can go ahead and be it if'n you want..... Ahem, anyhow
      we've got to do somat afore they reach the Abbey! (n/t) (03-Jan-99 18:44:02)
           Shadow de Vulpes: *Lifts her head up with a determined gleam in her eyes*Yes lets stop
           them.So stop standing around here and gey moving people! (n/t) (03-Jan-99 18:57:22)

           Shadow de Vulpes: OOC Ok just one question......how many creatures are named Shadow here?
           (n/t) (04-Jan-99 17:46:18)
      Silverleaf: I think there are two of you. Hmm...this could get confusing. *suddenly smiles* Hey, I know!
      One of you could change your name! (n/t) (04-Jan-99 18:45:50)
           yeah but which one? (n/t) (04-Jan-99 18:51:21)
      Shadow the Waveskimmer: I always go by ShadowW or Shadow the Waveskimmer. That will help.
      Just so long as you identify yourself Shadow de Vulpes. **The otter turns to face the fox** Maybe we
      can keep confusion at a minimum that way. (n/t) (05-Jan-99 12:47:10)
           Shadow de Vulpes: A splended idea.Now if that is sorted out lets go get these vermin! (n/t)
